I believe therapy can be a healing journey, and it can look different for everyone. I am firmly committed to creating a space for my clients where they feel seen and understood. My approach to therapy is custom to my individual client's needs, I have a basis in psychodynamic theory as well as a systemic and culturally competent client-centered approach. I have worked with folks from all walks of life, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ specific issues. As well as those who have experienced traumatic events, loss, difficult life transitions, anxiety, and depression.
My goal as a therapist is to provide you with support, encourage a deeper understanding of yourself, and gently explore what healing means for you. I recognize therapy can be intimidating and would like to congratulate you on taking the first steps toward your healing journey!
If you would like to schedule with me, feel free to look at our website (NYC Affirmative Psychotherapy). There you will find more information on scheduling, FAQs, and costs. I also accept NJ clients!
